Picked up this 1968 edition of MAD containing a sheet of poster stamps. The sheet is folded over and the backs unfortunately stuck together, but what do you expect after over 45 years. I've got parts that stick together too! Had to purchase several other old issues as well - 1965, '67, '68 and '69. Will try to peddle those on ebay.    |

Rod, do you know which issue the stamps were in or the year they came out?

MAD magazine was first published by Bill Gaines in 1952 in the USA as a comic book along with editor Harvey Kurtzman. It later became a humour magazine and is still published today. Up to the end of 2017 (when it moved from New York to the west coast and lost editororial staff), it only had 4 editors. Originally published by EC Comics it was eventually taken over by DC Comics (publishers of Batman and Superman). Its mascot is a character, depicted below in a presidential bid (one might consider that life has truly imitated (comic) art with the 2016 presidential election), called Alfred E Neuman whose catchphrase is 'What, me worry?'. The writers and artists are credited as 'The Usual Gang of Idiots'. The magazine has long parodied stamps as well as producing and printing them as inserts in the magazine. This particular sheet, shown as 2 scans, came with The Seventh Annual Edition of More Trash From MAD published in 1964. My particular philatelic favourite is the UN Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold inverted yellow parody (at the end of the second row) which sympathises with Leonard Sherman who found the original error sheet only for US Post Office to deliberately produce more of the error. As with jamesw these sheets are also stuck together.  Mad Magazine 1 by Daniel, on Flickr  Mad Magazine 2.jpeg by Daniel, on Flickr |

Came across these from 'MAD About Politics: An Outrageous POP-UP Political Parody', a book published in 2008. It seems appropriate to show them now.  Scan_20200714 by Daniel, on Flickr |
